I'm Bored...so?

Is that age-old phrase, "Mom, I'm bored" such a bad thing? No, it's a good thing. Kids need to learn how to be still, quiet, read a book, and just look at a rock and start thinking about it creatively. I remember when I was a child, we lived near a ravine with a field of straw in it. I spend hours playing in that field, using my imagination to build houses and forts. It was magical.
